Writing That Heals
By peace | August 12, 2007
When we are feeling sad, angry, fearful or grief-striken, there is nothing better than being able to talk to another person in order to release our deeply held feelings. However, sometimes it is hard to talk about our problems. It is hard to bottle up so much feelings, frustration and anger. Sometimes there is also no opportunities to ‘talk’ to anyone about our problems. Anything which goes in must come out. The best way to ‘talk’ about your problems is to your diary or journal, or simply through writing it out.
Writing can help us to resolve feelings or thoughts which have become stuck in our consciousness — especially if we find it difficult to talk about them, or even have no opportunities to talk about them. Writing is also a way to help us to take pleasure in life, on a daily basis. After writing, we often feel much better just for having ‘talked’ about it.
Keeping a journal allows you to jot down all your thoughts, ideas, sadness, happiness and so on in your life. Anyone who do this regularly will soon start to see life from a new perspective. I have kept my own online diary. I share all my thoughts, my personal relationship problems, happiness and unhappiness with my diary. Doing so, I feel so much relieved and better. I feel more calm, more meaningful when I can share my experience with people in this world who is interested to know about it. Sometimes, by writing down, I gained more inspiration and insight. By doing so, I also gained more clarity of my mind.
If you are feeling tired and you have so much unexpressed emotion like me, probably you should keep an online diary too. After writing, you may feel relieved and immediately better or you may feel a little depressed or sad for a while. Some people keep their writings in the form of a journal or diary. Others throw the letter or writing away or even make a ritual of burning the paper to show that they have cleansed their problem from their psyche. My sister has the habit of writing it out and throw the paper away or burn it away. For me, I write it on my online diary, and on my blogs.
Whether there is anyone who read my blogs or diary, I do not know. As long as I write, there will be some people who want to read, there will be some people who do not like to read. In this world, there will always be all types of people. I got to learn this through my sales experience. I used to be a realtor and I was also a Financial Adviser. I have teaching experience too. I worked in the office as well. I would say, I have various job experience and I have gone through life’s happiness, sadness, tasted what is bitter, sweet, spicy and blend, almost anything. By talking to people, normally, you will not find any solution to your problem at all. You will feel better after ‘releasing’ all your unexpressed emotions. What that is need to be left after that is still yourself, your own decision and your own reaction to solve your own problems.
In my opinion, writing in a diary is far better than ‘talking’ to someone. When talking to someone, you need to find someone whom you can trust and you need to take time to meet the person or to call the person. A diary which you keep with yourself is the best ‘healer’ for the broken heart, the wounded heart, the despaired heart and everything the heart would want to let out any emotions. The best thing about the diary is that it can be within reach anytime when the heart needs it.
